|  Goa
has a rich culture, unique history, and prettiest natural scenery
that India has to offer. Goa has been the meeting point of races,
religions, and cultures of East and West. Goa is also home to a
number of beaches that revive the soul. But, Goa is much more than
just beaches and sea. A traveler will not only be enticited by the
beaches and the marvel of architecture, Goa also offers a cuisine
which is a blend of different influences the Goans had to endure
during the centuries. The sea and rivers abound in seafood - prawns,
mackerels, sardines, crabs and lobsters are the most popular with
the locals and the visitors. Goa along with Daman and Diu became
a union territory on 1961 when it was liberated by the Indian Army
from Portuguese colonization. Panaji (Panjim) is the state capital
located on the banks of the Mandovi River. Other major towns include
Vasco, Margao, Mapusa, and Ponda. Goa has an international/national
airport located at Dabolim near Vasco. Travelers to Goa love the
natural beauty, the fabulous beaches, sunshine, laid-back, peaceful,
warm and friendly nature of the Goan people. Thus, it would not
be wrong to conclude that Goa is India's perfect beach side resort.
